this to ~ a as that ou Monday after
noon about 1.0 ) o’clock when it
was known that Mr. Cliff C. Tye
had killed himself in the store of
Messrs. T. A. Sloan and Co. No
motive is known for this rash act.
Mr. Tye walked into the store
with some money and handed it to
Mr T. A. Sloan and asked him to
give him crebit for it on his account
there, and as Mr. Sloan turned to
go to his office to givo the credit
Mr. Tye drew a 32 caliber pistol
and fired into his right temple the
bullet passing almost entirely thr
ough the head, and he fell to the
floor dead. There were several
near him who saw him pull the
pistol but before they realized why
he should draw the gun from his
pocket there they were startled by
the report of the pistol and a mo
ment later they saw him fall to the
floor dead.
“Cliff Tye” as he was called by
his hosts of friends, was one of the
town’s most genial and affable
young men. He had a large circle
of friends all of whom deeply de
plore his untimely end. For a
year he had been the popular and
efficient assistant post master at
McDonough. He was about 36
years old,
The funeral was held from his
late home at 2 o’clock Tuesday af
ternoon and the interment was in
the family lot in the McDonough
cemetery, Rev. J. A. Simpson, of
ficiating.
He is survived by his aged mo
ther, Mrs. M. A. Tye, two brothers
Colonel John L. Tye, of Atlanta,
and Dr. Robert L Tye, of New
York City, and five sisters, Mrs. T.
A. Sloan, Mrs. Paul Turner, Mrs.
Ethel Wright and Miss Nena Tye,
of this place, and Mrs. Ludie Hen
derson of Atlanta.
